Truckers who use Interstate 5 near Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, Wash., may need to adjust their trip in late September as it will be closed for bridge work. Night closures begin soon.
Interstate 5 between Oregon and Washington will be shut down in the coming weeks as crews begin work on the Interstate Bridge. Starting Aug. 17 through Aug. 20, motorists should expect nighttime closures going both directions. One-lane closures will start at 8 p.m. A second lane may be closed by crews at 10 p.m. All closed lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. the next morning.
However, that is just the beginning of lane closures. From 12:01 a.m. on Sept. 12 through 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 20, the northbound portion of the Interstate Bridge will be closed. Crews will be replacing mechanical parts that raise and lower the bridge.
